October 30, 2018

FOODIE DREAM
Lovers of good food crave a little adventure while dining. Pick a string of restaurants to try On Havana Street, Aurora’s paradise for ethnic eateries. There’s DAE GEE, serving traditional style Korean BBQ, or Snowl, taiyaki ice cream complete with fish-cones that are just as beautiful as they are tasty. Or make your way to Stanley Marketplace, Aurora’s indoor dining and entertainment venue with more than a dozen restaurants to try. From sushi to empanadas, you really can’t go wrong.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE GAME NIGHT
This isn’t your average, old-school bowling alley. Punch Bowl Social in Stapleton is filled with unique arcade-style games and trendy drink specials all wrapped up in a one-of-a-kind atmosphere. Book a lane for bowling, throw darts, play retro arcade games, or just hang out on their patio during the warmer months. It’s the perfect place for a casual, yet fun date. Consider booking a table or bowling lane here.

BEER TASTINGWhen in Colorado, don’t miss out on the variety of craft beer. Make your way to Dry Dock Brewing Company, Aurora’s first brewery, to try a flight of in-house brewed beer. Or try Pilothouse Brewing Company to enjoy 32 different taps yielding beers from amateur brewers and in-house creations. If you’re looking for a classic brewery experience, check out Peak to Peak Tap & Brew or Launch Pad Brewery to discover a list of beers that are truly their own.

RIDING OFF INTO THE SUNSET
Experience Aurora through a wild west-style adventure. Book a horseback ride through Cherry Creek State Park with the help of experienced guides at 12 Mile Stables. They’ll get you saddled up for a one-hour prairie ride or stream-side ride, as you take in the beautiful colors of Colorado. Take it up a notch with the sunset and dinner ride, they’ll serve you a classic cowboy dinner as you ride towards the setting sun. Learn more about booking here.

CLASSIC COMBO
It’s a proven fact that dinner and a movie is go-to date night option. Head over to Southlands Lifestyle Center for your reservations at The Wine Experience Café and World Cellar. This contemporary-style restaurant offers full wine tastings, unique menu, and fancy dessert options. If your date is more casual, reserve your space at The Poke Story, a trendy Japanese-style cafe serving healthy and creative dishes. After dinner, walk to the Southlands AMC to discover a movie of your choosing. You can even dine-in at the AMC!

CRAFTS & COCKTAILS
There’s a lot to be said about cider. Open Thursday-Sunday, Haykin Family Cider is the ideal place to grab a Colorado-style beverage before heading out. Their two-ingredient ciders are made with locally sourced apples and can be enjoyed right inside their intimate taproom. Afterward, make your way over to Stanley Marketplace for dinner, or book a paint & sip class with Painting With A Twist if you’re looking for something a little more crafty.
